Dear Devotees,
To fulfill the wish of our beloved guide and well-wisher nitya-lila om visnupada Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayaṇa Gosvami Maharaja, we cordially invite you to Sri Vrndavana Dhama for Sri Vraja-mandala Parikrama this Kartika, 2026!
Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja’s hearts’ desire and great pleasure is that during Sri Vraja-mandala and Sri Navadvipa-dhama parikrama devotees from all over the world come together as a loving family and become immersed in sweet hari-katha, remembering the pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Krsna and Sri Gaura Nityananda Prabhu. This month-long immersion offers the opportunity of visiting and hearing about all of Radha Krsna’s transcendental pastime places in Vraja, of deepening our realization through hearing Vaisnavas’ recollections of the philosophical conclusions of Gaudiya Vaisnavism, of performing kirtan morning, noon and night, and of being in the company of sincere devotees from around the world.
